Moluccan Eclectus

Moluccan Eclectus is a parrot native to the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot order for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage. the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage. Joseph Forshaw, in his book Parrots of the World, noted that the first European ornithologists to see eclectus parrots thought they were of two distinct species. (Wikipedia, general species account).

E. r. roratus, known as the grand eclectus, is found on Buru, Seram, Ambon, Saparua, and Haruku in the southern Maluku Islands. Larger in size than the nominate subspecies with more yellow in the plumage, it is found on islands in the North Maluku province. The diet of the Moluccan eclectus in the wild comprises mainly fruits, wild figs, unripe nuts, flower and leaf buds, and some seeds. (Wikipedia, general species account).
